If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Volvo XC90 (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Yes, Curt part number 56045 is designed for the Volvo XC-90. The installation manual is specific to this vehicle model.
You must remove the rear cargo door, floor trim, and access panels on each side of the vehicle to access the taillight wiring harness and power cable stud.
The taillight wiring harness is located inside the access panel area on the driver's side. You will find a matching harness on the passenger side. Both must be accessed after removing the floor trim and access panels.
Separate the taillight wiring connectors on both the driver's and passenger sides, being careful not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors on the driver's side, ensuring the locking tabs are in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side.
Route the T-Connector end with the green wire through the trim panel access hole, along the threshold, and through the trim panel access hole on the opposite side. Repeat this routing on the passenger side.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit.
Drilling is required only if a suitable grounding point does not already exist near the connector. If needed, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Always verify that no hidden items are behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
Locate the vehicle's power cable stud on the driver's side. Remove the nut using a wrench or socket. Place the T-Connector's yellow ring terminal on the end of the fuse holder on the stud.
Adhere the black converter box to the frame of the vehicle using the double-sided tape provided in the kit.
Secure any loose parts of the T-Connector with the cable ties provided in the kit.
When in use, route the 4-flat wire to the center of the vehicle and out of the hatch. When not in use, roll up the wire and store it in an out-of-the-way location in the trunk.
Yes, you must replace all items removed during installation, including the rear cargo door, floor trim, and access panels.
You will need a wrench or socket to remove the nut from the vehicle's power cable stud. A drill with a 3/32" bit is required only if you need to create a grounding hole. The kit includes cable ties, an eyelet, a screw, and double-sided tape.
Before drilling, verify that no miscellaneous items are hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
When separating the taillight wiring connectors, be careful not to damage the locking tabs, as these must remain intact to secure the T-Connector.
